Any type: could be a bug report, budget approval, or others. It's like Calendly but for receiving structured and context-rich requests. Pretty useful to avoid interruptions while working

Is this mostly for one type of request, like IT requests, or is it more general?

I know I won't remember. I'll have to write a note on my desktop..then have to remember where the note is.

Yeah, I quit that one.

But why? What's so great about making it 'modern'?

Ah. Good. So it'll be just like my first marriage.

Does the Lord of the Rings really count as three separate movies, though? The book was written as one book and divided for publication. So by extension, the adaptation of it is in effect one movie in three parts.

Yeah, true, but they're basically a monopoly. They're so firmly engrained into the culture that I doubt that's a real fear for them. Which sucks.

The Fellowship Of The Ring?

Gandalf's dead, the fellowship is broken and Frodo's trying to get to Mordor alone (and now feels bad he's let Sam get dragged into it)...

Walk Of Life!

Uh. No.

Youtube has the worst fucking search function I've ever seen. First two or three videos are right, next three are the random ones I already watched, the rest are total nonsense. Hopefully I will remember to use this trick.

Also quotations don't always have to be for searchterms that consist of several words, it can also be used when youtube/google decides that it doesn't know your searchterm and assumes you made a typo, then autocorrects you without asking.
Like searching for csrs, it would probably be changed to cars or something, if you'd type "csrs" however it should indicate you don't want it to be changed, also works well on google search in conjunction with verbatim mode, for which there is also an extension to force that by default

I share in this frustration. If I didn't click that video they've been shelling at me for the last three days on my homepage, I'm not gonna suddenly be interested when I'm searching for something different. Especially when it's a video I just finished, or clicked away with ten seconds left because the creator puts credits in.

The closest thing they've got to a "reasonable" thing in that field is how, on the recommended list that mimics your mess of a search result page, there's a list of tags on the top. If you click the one labeled "Related", it basically narrows the list down to what it should look like, rather than just your latest subscription feed, though they might sneak in there anyways but at least it's something. Though sometimes the tag doesn't show up so even that's not foolproof.

At this point I'm starting to think it needs a third party index which provides search over the biggest channels and just links out to YouTube for the content.

without the viewers, there is nobody to advertise to. so its important to make sure people keep watching. if you make it always worse and worse, this has the contrary effect you normally should intent.

We're not the customers, that's the corporations that advertise. It's been said a million times, but we, the viewers, are the product.

Yea, I mean the google graveyard is evidence of that, all it takes is 1 competent competitor and I feel like google would be in shambles.
Unfortunately all the competitors kinda suck too

I hear you and completely agree.

I think it just matters a lot less to Alphabet if users like you or me are satisfied with search functionality, because we don't exactly have a choice when it comes to video sharing/viewing... unless it's on ANOTHER corporate owned platform that will inevitably shift more and more towards appeasing advertisers (such as reddit- we're seeing this site drive ads and content consumption more and more each passing year).

So what I'm saying is I'm with you- we used to have a BEAUTIFUL set of tools built up via the internet, but they were scooped up by systems that are designed to turn a profit. Good for business, bad for progress and growth. Maybe some people like that, but I hate it.

sometimes, it feels to me like they have a dick-size comparisation at google.. who can programm the most annoying thing to screw with customers or something like this..

like we do it on programmerhumour where people code the most annoying way to input telephone numbers into a formular as a joke.. just that they do it for real @ google.

Yea I dont know who makes these decisions at google, but it's like they purposefully try to make things worse, I mean the youtube dislike thing, and they also recently put the google images button under the dotted menu instead of next to search, which now is apparently news, books and shopping? Idk who tf uses that but okay..

It's especially bad when you gotta find programming things or something very specific and/or obscure, if it wasn't for the google verbatim extension I'd have lost all my hair already.

Sometimes even bing is better than google, and that's not because bing has improved lol (which it hasn't)

Can't you? From my view I can. But perhaps that doesn't really work.

I haven't used google since a couple years. What's the functionality that you miss since the lawsuit(s)?

>maybe if youre lucky the first 2 videos are something related to what you search but then you have tonnes of completely unrelated videos based on your past viewership

It's worse now, literally for EVERY search I make there are 3 unrelated videos, usually those that are trending, before I can find the pertinent ones. I don't get it, it's just annoying.

Ah yes how I found all the gta 6 leaks on day 1 Full 90 minute videos with no reactions. Absolute legend for the rest too.
